Selection of Next
Packers President and CEO

On May 26, 2007 the Packers announced that John
Jones would be taking an indefinite "leave of absence" only
days before Jones was scheduled to succeed Harlan as new CEO of the
organization. Health concerns were the major reason sited for
Jones' departure. In late July 2007, the Packers and Jones
officially cut ties and a new search for the Packers President and
CEO commenced. Harlan retained his position as CEO throughout the
search, although the President position remained vacant. On
December 3, 2007, the Green Bay Packers announced Mark H. Murphy, the Northwestern University
Athletics Director, as its new President and CEO effective January
1, 2008. Harlan will remain as Chairman-Emeritus and advisor to the
team through the 2008 season, afterwards he will remain
Chairman-Emeritus and serve as a goodwill ambassador for the team.
He is the father of CBS sports broadcaster Kevin Harlan.
